Corumm is a one party, evil, totalitarian empire with one overriding goal: keeping its grip over its own population. It achieves this by fake populism, appeals to jingoism, fostering xenophobia and iron fisted security services. Abroad it seeks to increase its clout and extend its tentacles in seemingly benign ways such as rampant mercantilism, active participation in the League of Nations, attempts to weaponise diaspora communities (results may vary) and engaging in corruption with local elites. Corumm is the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons on a civilian target without provocation.

~~=== [[Takatta Loa|The Union of Takatta Loa]] ===~~

Based in the south of the tropical subcontinent of Vallos, west of Sarpedon, the Union of Takatta Loa is a loose {{wp|federation}} of nine client nations widely known in the rest of the world for its [[Loa peoples| diverse cultural complex]] and [[Kapuhenasa|indigenous organized religion]]. The Loa people once formed a vast empire stretching almost all of Vallos and the Kindreds, but after the [[Burning of the Floating Palace|violent collapse]] of the imperial domain, the land that would become Takatta Loa would fall into chaos, with much if the northern territory being seized by [[Cartadania]] and the southwest being consolidated into modern day Takatta Loa.

Takatta Loa relies heavily on its natural resources, cheap manufacturing capacity and widespread shipping companies to sustain itself. The Union is the leading supplier of a great deal of the world's spices such as cardamom, nutmeg and [[Copium]], although almost all of its other agriculture output remains domestic due to the relatively restrictive religious taboos in regards to pesticides. In addition, industrialism is becoming more and more prominent in Takatta Loa, with the nation producing increasingly more automobiles, electronics and trams, fueling economic growth. In addition, the state run companies that regulate entire industries in Takatta Loa are mandated on threat of death to focus on maximizing profit, which is distributed throughout the population as all citizens are employed by the state, whilst minimizing any and all severe changes to the traditional Loa way of life. Despite this, Takatta Loa is still a poor and developing nation, with certain regions relying entirely on subsistence agriculture.

Takatta Loa is also one of of most profoundly authoritarian nations in the world, though the power is diffused through a vast, byzantine bureaucracy and oligarchy rather then a single ruler or dynasty. All aspects of life are regulated and even the most basic activities such as leaving one's village requires a permit. In addition, the religious institutions of the Kapuhenasa maintain an iron tight grip on the population, combining theocratic zeal with ethno-nationalism and xenophobia specifically to enculturate an extremely caustic and isolationist attitude towards the Occident.

Currently, it is impossible to visit the Union of Takatta Loa as that requires a permit, which can only be acquired by Loa citizens. Furthermore, it is specifically outlawed to not be a Loa or of Loa descent and to not follow the teachings of the Kapuhenasa, locking away the many ancient wonders and customs of Takatta Loa from an outside visitor. However, one can visit the relatively modern and developed capital of Ninao under severe guidance and the watchful eye of the Loa military police.

=== [[Stenza|Republic of Stenza]] ===

On the northern part of Australies lies the [[Stenza|Republic of Stenza]], a Polynesian nathion that has taken to the international stage after an isolationist past not too long ago. Being a loose collection of tribes struggling for power among each other for most of ancient history, Stenza was tamed and industrialized by Corummese colinization before breaking free under an authoritarian, isolationist government.
